The main destination for exports from Brazil's poultry genetics sector, Mexico imported a total of 13.5 thousand tons in 2023, a number 72.7% higher than that recorded in 2022.

"The strong performance of the poultry genetics export sector in 2023 is an important indicator of international confidence in the biosecurity of poultry farming in Brazil. On the other hand, it also shows the increased relevance of the Brazilian sector as a safe haven for nations that face health challenges and need to replace squads", highlights Ricardo Santin, president of ABPA.
